We need to produce HTML fragment with sections: About the role? Actually we need to use

for section headings like About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule. We must not repeat job title as heading. We need to include sections only when posting has real specific content. We need to preserve all substantive info, remove boilerplate, navigation, legal, EEO, etc. Also remove duplicated lines, application instructions. We need to parse the posting. Key content: - Title: Senior Counsel | Lemon Law Litigation | Northern California (but we don't repeat as heading) - Note: active CA Bar license required. - Intro paragraphs about firm, role, etc. - Why Our Northern California Team? with subpoints: Take Ownership of Your Practice, Bring Your Lemon Law Experience, Keep Developing as a Trial Lawyer, Work With People Who Collaborate, Let Your Performance Create Opportunity, Flexibility Without Losing Connection, Bring What You Know... - Who Will Thrive Here? bullet points. - Responsibilities list (bulleted). - Requirements list (bulleted). - Compensation Package (Pay) details. - Benefits list. - About Tyson & Mendes (maybe About the role? Actually "About Tyson & Mendes" could be "About the role"? But we have heading "About the role" maybe we can use that for description of role/firm. The instruction: use

for section headings (e.g. About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule). So we can have sections: About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Benefits, Pay. Possibly also Qualifications? But we have Requirements covering qualifications. Could also have Skills? Not explicit. We'll include sections where content exists. We need to avoid filler like "commensurate with experience". Not present. We need to remove cookie/navigation/legal/EEO/equal-opportunity/scam-warning boilerplate, duplicated lines, and application instructions. So remove lines like "Please note: An active California Bar license is required." Actually that's substantive (license required) - keep. Remove "Equal Opportunity Employer Notice" and the legal copy about EEO. Also remove "NOTICE TO APPLICANTS/EMPLOYEES..." and "No recruiters/agencies". Also remove "Click here to learn more about the Tyson & Mendes Office! (944) The Tyson & Mendes Office - YouTube" maybe that's navigation? It's a link; we can drop. Also remove "Follow along with the firm on Twitter and LinkedIn or visit www.tysonmendes.com." That's boilerplate. Also remove "Equal Opportunity Employer Notice OK, now for the legal copy..." etc. Also remove "By the way, if you read all of this, congratulations – we can already tell your attention to detail is exceptional." That's fluff but maybe not boilerplate; but it's not substantive about job; we can drop as it's not needed. Also remove "RESponsibilities" etc but we keep. We need to preserve all substantive information: role description, responsibilities, requirements, compensation, benefits, flexibility, etc. We need to format using

headings and
  • for lists,

    for prose. We must not include or tags, no markdown fences. Let's extract prose for About the role: maybe combine introductory paragraphs up to "Why Our Northern California Team?" as description. Also include "Who Will Thrive Here?" maybe as part of Requirements? But we could treat as part of About the role or separate "Qualifications"? The instruction says we can use Qualifications heading if we have content. We have Requirements already; Qualifications could be similar but we can skip if not needed. We'll keep Requirements. We need to ensure we don't duplicate content. Let's list sections: - About the role: description of role, firm, location, expectations, flexibility, etc. - Responsibilities: bullet list from RESPONSIBILITIES section. - Requirements: bullet list from REQUIREMENTS section. - Benefits: bullet list from BENEFITS section. - Pay: paragraph with compensation details. Potentially also Schedule? Not mentioned explicitly; flexibility remote/hybrid but not schedule specifics. Could include under About the role. We must not create Pay/Schedule/Benefits sections unless posting actually states them. Pay is stated, Benefits stated, Schedule not explicitly; we can omit Schedule. Now we need to extract the exact content. Let's copy the posting and extract.
